THE "MATcHLEss" SELF. LIGHTING GAS
BURNER is novel automatic device which
can be attached to any ordinary gas brack-
ct. BY simply turning the button the gas
is instantly lighted or extingrshed. The
"Ma,chless" burner Is invaluable in bed
rooms, cellars, dark passages, offices, in fact
everywhere where an instantaneous light
is required The lighting is effected by
means of a small concealed flame constantly
alight, but so tiny tina, the cost of gas con-
sumed is too trfling to be estimated.
This little flame is surrounded by a
transparent globe, and it sufficiently illumi-
mates to be most convenient night light for
bed rooms and nurseries, To adjust in pc.
sition for use it is only necessary 10 unscrew
the ordinary gas burner from the usual gas
brackets and screw the "Matchless' burner
in its place. Mr.. S. +. Dyson, No. sos King
street, is the agent in this city.

THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Residents of the Third ard Desire
the Removal of "Chicago."

A loud howl has gone up from resi-
dents OF the Third ward that they are
Disseminated against in the matter of the
location of the houses of i'll fame in their
vicinity. When these houses were re-
moved to the west end some years ago the
city was congratulated upon the fact that
the lawless element had been concentra-
ted and could be easily managed by the
police. The respectable residents Of
that portion of town are undoubtedly
often incommoded and offended by the
presence in their midst of lewd women
and their natural consorts, and the ques-
ton arises: "What are you going to do
about it?" 1t would be a short-sighted
policy to compel them to emigrate to
other portions of the city. The laws en-
acted against this class are practically ig-
nored, and it would be almost impossible
TO enforce them were it attempted. The
iron clad anti-immoral law of lava has
cost that state over 81 900, 900, and Is
laughed at by the people for whose prose-
cution it was made. Representatives of
the social evil reside in all portions Of
Omaha and Denver. In the former city
places of sin exist and flourish within a
stones throw OF church buildings, while
in Denver men are hourly accosted by
lewd females on the business and resi-
dence streets, and each of these places
has a policeman for every 1000 of their
population, while Cheyenne only has one
officer for each 1000 inhabitants
An alderman from the third ward, who
Is a respectable and representative citizen,
il the course of a conversation with a
LEADER representative last evening, stat
ed that in his opinion the best course to
pursue was to preserve peace and quiet in
Chicago at all hazards. If the police
force was unable to control that locality
the number of officers should be increased.
Some people seem to think" he said,
that the removal of bawdy houses out
side the city would remedy the evil. In
my opinion it would only aggravate it.
In that case the city authorities would
have no voice the enforcement of the law.
and the sheriff already has enough bust
ness on hand"
A policeman was interviewed on the
subject and said that he had learned from
experience that the majority of brawls
occurred in the low dives managed by
dark oomplexioned madames. but chat
the disturbances were seldom of a serious
nature, and that the inmates of these
places had a wholesome dread of official
interference.

Alderman Murray's Room Visited and
S35 Secured.

The room of Alderman Murray in the
residence of Policeman Van Thomson,
was b~urglarlzed about A o'clock yesterday
morning. The thief or thieves secured
about S35 in money, and although the
room was thoroughly ransacked, nothing
else was taken. Mr.. Murray had col
lected the money after banking hours the
previous evening, and as the greater part
of the amount was silver had placed it in
a bureau drawer upon reaching home.
He arose at 3 o'clock and proceeded to
Sloan's lake with one of his ice wagons,
and upon his return several hours later
learned of his loss. The robbers were
evidently well acquainted with condition
of affairs about the house, as Mr.. Murray
invariably arises at a very early hour and
Mr.. Van Thomason is on police duty
from 10 o'clock p. m, until noon the fol-
lowing day. An entrance was effected by
prying a screen window, the only protec-
ton to the opening, from its hinges. The
intruders lighted a lamp and examined
the room carefully, evidently expecting
to find a large amount of money regretted
therein. The bed was disarranged and
the contents of several bureau drawers
lying on the floor.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all

full machinery it is. Not only the larger

tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked

your lungs cannot do half their work.

Call it cold, cough, Group. Pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption, or any of the fam

to get rid of them. That is to take
Boschee's German Syrup, which any

Even if everything else has failed you

THE OFFENSIVE TRAMP.
a Prescriptions Intruder Ousted by a
Plucky Cheyenne Lady.

Tuesday evening as Mrs. w. A. Sisson
and a lady friend were sitting in the parlor
of the formers residence on east Seven
tenth street, a big burly tramp entered
the yard, advanced toward the house and
attempted to enter a window, seemingly
unconscious of the presence of the ladies'.
Mrs. Sisson ordered him to leave the
place, but the tramp seemed to know
that there were no men about the prem
Uses and fatty refused to depart. Mrs.
Sisson has resided in the West for sew
eral years and evidently is not afraid of
any tramp that ever counted ties on the
Union Pacific. Observing that the
man proposed to enter the house
she anticipated his intrusion
by hurrying to an inner room and securing
a revolver, which was aimed at the tramp
and the trigger pulled. The cartridge
failed to explode, however, and the visitor
was soon lost to view. The failure of the
weapon to act was a fortunate occurrence
for the tramp, as Mrs. Sisson is said to
be an expert shot and not lacking in nerve
or presence of mind. Were more of the
beggars and sneak-thieves who infest the
city accorded receptions of this kind, they
would soon become less offensive to those
upon whom they force their attentions.

81 would be last man on earth to throw
cold water on any scheme for the ad-
vancement OF Cheyenne or the territory -
yesterday remarked an alderman who
came west in 81, but if any man or cor
poration can get water over the noun
tains from the Laramie river to this city
for less than $4,000, 900 it will surprise
me terribly, and I've been over every foot
of the country. 1t would be necessary to
spend fully $40, 900 in preliminary surveys,
and 100 or 800 rauchmen along the stream
would each receive from $500 to SO, 200
indemnity. OF course the idea could be
carried out, but where is the money to
come from?'

Horse-Thief Captured.

Aug. Pasche, the stock detective, ar
rived on the Cheyenne & Northern last
evening, having in custody and under
close guard a man accused of stealing
a horse from Moran Bros, who have a
ranch on the Sabille. The suspected
thief was captured on the Laramie river
Tuesday. He refused to give his name
or say anything about the occurrence. 1t
is thought that he is a well-known crimi-
nal who is badly wanted in Texas and sew
eral other localities.

A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Bishop Talbot Greeted by a Host of
Cheyenne People.

A reception was last evening rendered
the Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, the re-
Gently appointed Episcopal bishop of
Wyoming and Idaho, at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Kent, on Ferguson
street. The spacious residence was
thronged with people who gathered to-
gether to pay their respects to Bishop
Talbot. Among the callers were several
clergymen of other denominations and a
large number of ladies. The gathering
was in every respect a representative one.
At the reception last evening Bishop
Talbot emphasized the strong impression
which he had made from the pulpit on
last Sunday. Alert and energetic in his
movements, courtly in his and
with a high-bred intellectual countenance,
he would be an attractive parsonage in
any assemblage. The people OF Chey-
me who have had the pleasure of a per-
sonal introduction to Bishop Talbot are
unanimous in the belief That he will prove
a tower of strength in the great church
work to which he has been called.
The graceful hospitality of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kent contributed very much to the
pleasures of an evening that was sincerely
enjoyed by every one present.

Motion for a New Trial overruled.

Chief Justice Maginnis yesterday over
ruled the motion for a new trial In the
Germs perjury case, and the defendants
now have until the first day of the next
term of court in. which to file a bill of ex-
ceptions, which they will undoubtedly do.
Judge Maginnis reviewed every point in
the case in a clear and concise manner,
and cited numerous authorities to verify
the correctness and legality of his ruling.
AS will be remembered, Germs is the
mar who claimed to have arrested Trum-
bic after the murder of Miley by the latter.
Instead of arrestiug Trumble it was prov
en- at the trial that Germs was assisting
the murderer to escape, and he was subse-
quently convicted of perjury.
Frank Ketchum, whose case is some
what similar to hat of Germs, has also
moved by his attorney for a new trial, and
the matter is under advisement by the
court.

THE WEALTH OF ALASKA,
Talk With Governor 6wineford. Who
Arrived In Tacoma Last Night.

Governor Swineiord Of Alaska is at
Tacoma. He arrived on the steamer
North Pacific yesterday afternoon.
elbow is the weathvr up at the jump
ing nff place, governor?" asked the
Ledger representative.
II haven't worn an overcoat this
winter until started from Sitka on the
steamer Idaho nine days ago" replied
the governor We have had no snow at
all, but considerable rain. The cabbage
stumps were beginning to sprout and
new buds peeping cut Of the foliage
when l left
Governor Swineiord is on his way to
Washington to have some action taken
with reference to the territory. He
says there are no fee simple titles to the
land ia Alaska The people havn't the
benefit of the United States land law.
No timber Is allowed to be cut and min
ing patents cannot be obtained. As the
territory has M representative in con
gress, everything goes by default.
Chow about the mines?" was asked.
ALASKA is one Of the richest countries
in the world in miainy wealth. The
Treadwell mine on the mainland, mile
AFRO the channel from Ju leau, which
is on Douglas Island, is one OF the great
est o. quartz lodges. They are taking
out quartz rock which yields SIS per ton
at cost of Sl:25 per ton for mining and
milling. The ledge is close to deep
water, is 5000 feet in length and the
narr'west cross cut is AGO feet. 1t is u
probable average width Of 500 feet be.
tween the walls. The stamp mill is the
largest on the continent aud is surprising
to people who have seen it. There is
more quartz rock in sight now than the
mill can work in loo years.

BRIDGE.

Much has been said and written abou
bridge across the Clearwater opposit.
Lewiston. The people have indicated
their desire to be taxed to the necessary
amount for that purpose, but the city
authorities have hes ,ated. Some have
estimated the probable cost at high
figure. Bids have been offered for
building different kind Of structures at
different prices. We have one commend
able example Of town in Oregon,
which with the aid of $4,000 from
Marion and P.lk counties. The city Of
Salem on the 18th of June 1886 sub.
mitted the question Of bonding the city
in the cum of $4,000 for the purpose
Of constructing free bridge across the
Willamette below the old steamboat
landing at Salem. The people readily
voted this bond by vote Of 663 for
issuance to Il against. The Marion
county court on July %, made an order
for $4,000, and in August the Polk
county court made similar order for
$1,000 to aid in the bridge. On July
Ii, the contract for building was let to
the San Francisco bridge company, and
the bond approved. The contract price
$4S,887, the material to be of iron and
wood, and the bridge to be completed IN
or before the Goth Of Nov. following.
Tho Bridge was completed on the time
specified and open for travel on the End
OF December. The Salem Statesman
says: "The total cost of this to the city
Of Salem was a little over $4,000, and
to this amount she had $4,000 assist.
ance from Marion and Polk counties.
Its total length from end to end is about
2240 feet. The channel span is 27O
feet long; the center span $50 feet and
the last or cast span is 200 feet. The
center piers are Sc feet high, and there
is no draw. the bridge being high enough
to admit the passage Of all river steamers
under her spans at every season OF the
year" We have given these particulars
that our pcaple may perceive what Gu b.
done where there is will to do. Al
bridge Of the character described ought
to BE- built across the Clearwater for half
the cost Of the Salem bridge. The dis.
lance across is hardly halt the distance
across the Willamette at the bridge point
ut Salem. Why should not our citizens
stir themselves in this matter. Some
seem to be afraid 70 think of the matter
and others dare not fearing it
would be unpopular with some Of the
monied men. Faint heart neuer ICON

The result OF the trial Of Hibbs in

section, but from the tone OF the Press,
we infer that 10 other sections where the
defalcation was known, and some went so
far as to intimate that Lewiston jury
could never be induced to find verdict
Of guilty. Such limitations and slnrs
